I am a Christian, albeit with a faith suffused by scepticism, a working class Socialist with very little labour power to sell and, an Idealist who thinks a lot (when emotional stamina is available in sufficient quantity) but has insufficient energy/determination to express it in any practical way.

At times it seems that the only thing that keeps me going is the love and care I receive from ma belle, friends and family. Perhaps the only claim I really have to being “a radical”, these days, is a radical ineffectualness but, I can honestly claim to be “an ailing body in an ailing world”.
